quote:I knew a guy on the board, they let some idiot retired cops basically run a billion dollar pension, needless to say they lost hundreds of millions of dollars in bad investments like buying golf courses.

Don't even look into the District Attorney's (DARP) then - from a per capita basis, they can buy and sell the cops....3 times.

quote:The trustees were led by Bossier City Police Captain Bill Fields, a Corvette-driving former pawn shop owner who chaired the pension’s golf-course committee, and its vice chairman, Willie Joe Greene, a retired captain from nearby Keithville. Fields, now 58 and retired, and Greene, 73, declined requests to comment for this story.
